Mike,
I still have 335i coupe (2 door, not four door

), I have had it since March, 2008. It is only for when I need to carry 2 or 3 passengers. How come you don't come to Vances any more, last time I saw you at Vances was about two years ago if I recall, you used to come to the shop a lot more often.

As far as I can tell there is nothing wrong with daily driving 360. It is extremely hard for me not wanting to drive the 360 everyday. I just bought a house fairly recently in safer area where exotics are very common and my daily commute is usually 5~15 miles each way at most, so daily driving it shouldn't be an issue.

One of my Supra friend has a 360 for daily, he got it around the same time I got my NSX 6~7 years ago. He daily drive it hard and put on 4 times more miles than I did on my NSX during the same time span. His 360 has been bullet proof other than 1 clutch replacement (I am skeptical about only having to replacing clutch just once with his driving style) and he is got 80k miles.

I would estimate that I've been to Vance's about 3 x within the last year, but you're correct : I don't go nearly as much as before. I also don't go to SCA as much as before either....no real reason other than I always seemed to have something going on when the meetings were happening. I plan to start making a better effort to show my face more often.....

As long as daily driving your new ride doesn't worry you, I say go for it !!! We don't know what tomorrow will bring, so enjoy your sportscar passion to its fullest !!!

Congrats on the car but if your gonna daily drive it Ferrari's like to be driven hard and not for short distances from what I recall. Looks like you have the Tubi exhaust and challenge grill as well very nice

Congragulations, I have been daily driving mine since I got it a month or so ago. The trunk is a pain in the ass as well as the gas door. I love the car and will never look back. I love the color combination of your car and the seats. The maintenance is not that bad on the car, this is my second Ferrari and have had 0 problems with either one. Enjoy it as often as you can....

Rob,

I found a secret switch for the hood (front), there is actually a hidden pull out switch underneath at similar location as most cars. So now even without putting the key in and turn the power on, you can pop the hood. Also there is a battery kill switch in the trunk as well.

I heard there is a secret switch for the gas door too, but I have yet found it. I been daily driving my as well without any issues.

How you done the high flow cats? If not, it is a must have. Prospeed, Kinetix, Hyperflow, Fabspeed are all great choices.

Exhaust doesn't do much for our car other than noise (some even lose power), but high flow cats are known to be best possible mod for 360 and dyno proven gain 20~30rwhp on dyno and helps low and mid range torque a lot. After having the high flow cats installed, the car is now noticeably quicker than my JB3 TT 335i. The car should had came from factory like this.
